Chief Superintendent Sultan Taylor wrote some words about this project:
‘As the Borough Commander for Barking and Dagenham Police I am very keen to build relationship up with the Bulgarian community to help to improve confidence in the local police. But more importantly to involve and engage our community to help resolve local issues such as Anti-Social Behaviour and to reduce the numbers of crimes in the borough.
I am very keen to work in partnership with all the communities.
Examples of such initiatives are: becoming a member of Neighbourhood Watch, a volunteer that works with the police and if you are a young person you can join The Volunteer Police Cadets.
I also want to inform our Eastern- European community of how our police work. The police are willing to demonstrate their commitment and ability to treat the Bulgarian community fairly and to mediate impartially between the interests of different communities in the borough.
In order to fulfil their obligations, to deliver their services promptly, and in an equal and unbiased manner to all members of society, the police must be responsive to the needs and concerns of the Bulgarian community.
In order to learn about the needs and concerns of the Bulgarian community, and to have their support in crime prevention, the police strive to gain their trust and establish partnerships with these communities based on accountability, mutual respect and communication on an equal footing.’
The Bulgarian Community Confidence Project requires Adriana Mandresi to work direct to the Borough Commander Sultan Taylor who has some considerable expertise in Public Confidence matters and in their absence to the Deputy Borough Commander Sean Wilson.
The project is to explore further methodology to be used by policing to improve public confidence; compare with other elements of the public sector and policing both nationally and internationally; to liaise with the statutory partners who work in Barking and Dagenham Borough; how to apply such methodology in an ever changing culturally diverse and dynamic environment.
Chief Superintendent Taylor would like all readers to take good crime prevention such as not leaving your windows open and doors unlocked when they leave the house.
